STARTECH 50ft White CAT8 Ethernet Cable NLWH-50F-CAT8-PATCH

SKU CH-K3MB-C36MH

50 ft white CAT8 patch cord rated for 25 Gbps or 40 Gbps at 2000 MHz with 100 W PoE++, S/FTP shielding and 26 AWG bare copper conductors

  • Supports 25G/40G speeds with 2000MHz bandwidth
  • 100W PoE++ powers devices through the cable
  • S/FTP shielding with Aluminum Mylar tape blocks interference
  • 26AWG pure bare copper conductors ensure signal integrity
  • Snagless RJ45 connectors with strain reliefs protect the plug

Product Identity

This StarTech cable is a 50ft white CAT8 Ethernet patch cord built with 26AWG pure bare copper conductors and S/FTP shielding. It terminates in snagless RJ45 connectors with strain reliefs and a low-smoke zero-halogen jacket. The assembly is Fluke channel tested for reliable performance.

Target Users

It suits installers who need a 25G or 40G link up to 2000MHz bandwidth and support for 100W PoE++ on a single run. Buyers who require a different cable length, an unshielded design, or a lower category rating should look at other options.

Decisive Specification

The CAT8 rating delivers 25G and 40G speeds at 2000MHz over the full 50ft distance. This bandwidth ceiling determines whether the cable matches the network equipment you are connecting.

Questions about this item

Will the snagless RJ45 connectors fit through a standard keystone jack or wall plate?

The snagless boots protect the locking tab but add minimal bulk so the RJ45 plugs pass through standard keystone openings and wall plates without force.

Do I need to ground the S/FTP shield at both ends during installation, or is one end enough?

Connect the drain wire to the grounded jack or patch panel at each termination point; leaving one end floating defeats the 2000 MHz shield performance.

How often should I re-certify the Fluke channel test on a 50 ft run carrying 40 Gbps?

Re-test after any re-termination, sharp bend, or crush damage; otherwise the original Fluke channel pass remains valid for the life of the cable.
